How a high school course will increase your earning capacity 



This table (prepared by the United States Bureau of Education) compares 
the wages of a group of children who left school at 14 years of age with another 
group who left at 18 years of age. 

Earnings per week of Earnings per week of 

children who left children who left 

school at 14, the school at 18, the 

end of gram- end of high 

mar school Age school

Total salary till 25 Total salary till 25 

years of age, years of age, 

$5,112,50 $7,337.50 

At 25 years of age the boy who had remained in school until 18 had received 
over $2,000 more salary than the boy who left at 14, and was then receiving over 
$900 a year more. 

This is equivalent to an investment of $18,000 at 5 per cent. Can a boy in- 
crease his capital as fast in any other way? 

From this time on the salary of the better educated boy will rise still more 
rapidly, while the earnings of the boy who left school at 14 will increase but little. 

Although the wages paid now are much higher than when this study was 
made, the comparison remains .the same.

ready for his opportunity when it comes."
